WINTER TYRE Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A 265/60 R18 114H XL 4PR M+S SBL

All prices include VAT and transport costs within mainland Britain.

The tyre:

A winter perfection in all conditions for SUV's

An all-round winter player, not only excellent control in the snow but also advanced wet and dry performance in cold weather.

Tyre Pattern

Snow pick traction groove
Unidirectional tread design in a gull wing shape improves the traction and braking performance on snow.

3D winter sipe
Serrated winter sipe improves braking performance in winter driving. This special sipe enhances driving stability by minimising block movement.

Water pipe kerf
The water pipe kerf placed inside the shoulder block improves performance on wet surfaces by efficiently transporting water out of the main groove.

Aqua pine compound
Maximising wet and snow grip by adopting highly refined resin.

Tyre Structure

Advanced silica compound for wet performance
The high loading silica compound provides an increased wet performance. Natural ingredients ensure the rubber’s flexibility in a wide temperature range.

Application of high strength steel belt wire
A full cover steel layer increases the tread stiffness and keeps straight stability even throughout powerful acceleration. The application of special edge covers improve steering response.

Dual layer fibre stiffener
The dual structure of the carcass fibre stiffener provides tyre durability and stress resistance.

High strength bead wire
The extra high tensile bead wire provides driving stability even throughout powerful acceleration.

Tyre Codes / Designations:

• Speed Index: H: max 210 mph
• Additional Code: M & S for winter tyres
• Date of Manufacture: The offered tires are from the current production, i.e. they not older than 24 months. In general, these tires are not older than 12 months.

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
